The Southampton International Boat Show returns to Mayflower Park this September for ten days of boating, watersports and marine entertainment.

As the UK’s flagship boating and watersports festival, the show brings together hundreds of marine brands and an impressive collection of boats and watercraft. From sailing yachts and motorboats to dinghies, paddleboards and the latest marine equipment, there’s plenty to discover whether you’re an experienced boater or simply enjoy being on the water.

Visitors can explore the purpose-built show marina, step aboard a wide variety of boats, discover the latest marine products and technology, and hear from experts from across the industry.

There’s plenty happening away from the stands too, with opportunities to get out on the water, live demonstrations, talks, entertainment, food and drink throughout the ten-day event.

Located just along the Solent from Lymington, the Southampton International Boat Show is one of the highlights of the boating calendar and a great day out for boating enthusiasts and families alike.
